I was just thinking about this post yesterday, and remembering that I'd said I might try something like this too. Oops. End of the month is here and I have nothing organized like this. Heh, maybe next month. Maybe I'll start the new year with it. (Maybe I'll never get around to it?!)

I've been loving our fall weather, and I think of you often as I'm taking it all in. I was on a downward trend in being so preoccupied that I wasn't enjoying the Halloween season. It's on an upward swing now though, since I sort of pushed a lot of mental things aside and am just letting the little Halloween things in. Even just things like hearing Thriller on the radio. I'm loving seeing more and more Christmas stuff in the stores, but at the same time, I'm sad because it's like Thanksgiving is forgotten.

It would a fun New Year addition to make to the blog! I enjoy looking back and remembering how the month went.

I bet your fall weather is so crisp! I started tuning into the Halloween music channel on TV and Pandora. You are right. It helps. Know what also helps?? The adorable card I got <3 the girls love the stickers and send their thanks! Thanksgiving is forgotten on a commercial level but not around here. The thankful tree goes up and I kick into high gear meal planning. I love Thanksgiving.

I'm sorry about your stepdad. :( Like Nancy said, it is hard letting go, especially when he was in your life for so long. :( *HUG* Even if you forgive someone, it doesn't mean the hurt goes away. I know how you feel, I have the same feelings about my real dad. Luckily, my stepdad, even though he hasn't been in our lives all that long, has filled a little bit of the void.

Madame Bovary is a book I have always wanted to read. Do you recommend it, other than the love/hate feelings?

I do recommend it. It reads a little slow at times with all the descriptive language (it was written in the 1800's) but it really is funny and sad and crazy and manages to be very applicable to today too.

Yes you do understand. I wish you didn't. :-( and that families would remain whole, but then I wouldn't have my sisters. Sorry about your tooth! All my old silver fillings are cracking and straining under my nocturnal grindings. I hope your month does too! <3
